Fleece Or Microfleece?

Microfleece usually referred to simply as "fleece", is a soft synthetic wool like fabric made from recycled plastic bottles or other synthetic fibers. One of the first forms of microfleece was "Polar Fleece" which was created in 1979. This new, light and strong pile fabric was made to mimic and in many ways surpass natural wool. Fleece does have some of wool's finest qualities but weighs much less compared to the lightest available wool garments.

Fleece is primarily used in casual fleece jackets, hats, sweater, jogging gym clothes, hoodies and inexpensive throw blankets, and in high-performance outdoor clothing such as equipment for mountain climbers. Fleece is a vegan alternative to wool that can be manufactured entirely from recycled plastic bottles and is very light, soft and easy to wash. The thickness of fleece fabric varies - 100, 200 and 300 with 300 being the thickest and least flexible.

Some of the advantages that fleece provides are it is soft and comfortable to wear and is very easy to care for. Other advantages are that it is extremely warm and provides this warmth without weighing a lot. Also, the nature of
fleece is that it cannot hold liquid very well and is a breathable fabric so perspiration passes right through the fabric and dissipates quickly. This is why many interested in physical activity are drawn toward fleece. Fleece is a great fabric for someone who is allergic or sensitive to wool apparel - wool is kinda itchy.

Overall fleece is a fabric that has been engineered to be warm and soft, lightweight, resilient and easy to take care of. If you don't have any fleece clothing or products I recommend you check them out. Not only are comfortable, but they are also considered environmentally friendly.
